WB: Nurses protest after PG trainee doctor found dead in Govt hospital in Kolkata

Nurses protest for justice for deceased PG trainee

Kolkata: Nurses in Kolkata held a rally on Saturday demanding justice after a female post-graduate trainee (PGT) doctor was found dead inside the seminar hall of the government-run R G Kar Medical College and Hospital on August 9.

A tragic event
Earlier on Friday, Dr Sandip Ghosh, Principal of R G Kar Medical College and Hospital, commented on the incident, saying, "This is a tragic event. We will only know the cause of death after the postmortem. As the Principal and Head of Administration, I am ensuring that all necessary steps are being taken in the inquiry.

Everything is being done properly. Such an incident has never happened before at R G Kar Medical College and Hospital."

Signs of strangulation
Unconfirmed reports suggest signs of strangulation and traces of seminal fluid. This appears to be a clear case of murder, possibly involving rape. The State Government has formed an 11-member inquiry committee.

Candlelight march
On Friday evening, a group of students organized a candlelight march in the city following the discovery of the postgraduate trainee doctor's body.

The death of the second-year medical student has sparked a political storm in West Bengal. (with Agency inputs)
